This pair of Baumann fan armchairs in dark wood and beige fabric evokes the elegance of country seating, with a sober and warm presence. The wood forms a refined structure, while the original fabric adds a soft touch that naturally converses with a wooden table, in a living room or bedroom. Sourced and second-hand, this set offers a comfortable seating option for everyday use, ideal for accompanying a reading nook or complementing an interior with classic accents. Its look easily pairs with natural materials, from vintage linens to a rug made of plant fibers.

Its name derives from the old French "faudesteuil," a folding seat for dignitaries, but it emancipated itself under Louis XV to become this comfort piece furnished with armrests. Unlike the chair, it favors a wider seat and an inclined backrest, inviting conversation rather than rigid posture. Whether it is a "bergère" with full cheeks to shield from drafts or a lighter "bridge" armchair, it embodies the evolution of the art of living.
